I've always loved Felicity. She was spunky, headstrong, and a bit tomboyish. She stood up for what she believed in and by her friends no matter what. I also found her time period fascinating, and I've actually stayed in Williamsburg on vacation. It was a great trip, and I highly recommend it along with Felicity's books if you ever get the chance to go. I learned how to curtsy, had period food, and saw history outside my window every morning I woke up.
